Spring Cleaning Time Is Here

It’s that time of year again…spring cleaning time… Don’t huff and puff and think of it as a chore, think of it as “out with the old and in with the new.” It’s time to get organized and spruce up your home. Sometimes you don’t even have to break the bank. A fresh coat of paint is the cheapest way to give a fresh new feeling or a change to your decor. Swap pieces of furniture between rooms and presto…looks like you’ve been shopping. But before the fun part of redecorating, you should always start with some cleaning first. When all is done, I am sure you will find the end results are always rewarding and wondering why it took you so long to do. Contact me for more spring cleaning ideas or references to get it done at 732-995-5609 / NJHomesbyRoslyn.com.

5.    Finishing the basement

6.    Installing hardwood floors

7.    Refinishing cabinetry

8.    Installing sprinklers

9.    Installing showers and baths
